How do I open a file that is in MacBinary format on a Windows or Unix machine?

If want to view it on a Windows machine, first you need to log into a Unix machine to extract out the data.

1. From a terminal window, type:
binhex file_name > output_file_name 


2. From a terminal window, type:
hexbin -d output_file_name


Then you can open up the file with the usual application.
